Today Primary 6 were developing their literacy skills with their thinking reader partners. Our focus was a factual text about honeybees. We were given the opportunity to discover the importance of bees in our environment and how we can help them to survive. We also developed our reading skills by learning new words, using facts to create a visualizer,think about the  products we get from bees, creating questions and summarising.

“My favourite task was the summarising as I had to say what had happened in twenty words. It was fun making questions for other groups. I think doing these tasks will help me to understand the text better. I did not know that a young bee was called a larva.”
